Does coconut count as a nut? I have a great recipe for sweet
potato-coconut pie.

Google this group's archives for a sweet potato pie by cat voci. It is to
die for. BTW, does anyone know where cat is?

Sweet Potato Pie

1 cup of cooked mashed sweet potatoes
3 eggs
12 ounces of evaporated milk
1 teaspoon of ginger
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 ready to bake 9" pie shells.

Heat oven to 350 F. In a large mixing bowl, add mashed sweet potatoes,
eggs, evaporated milk, spics and salt, mixing well until everything is
combined and the mixture is smooth. Add to pie shells and bake until firm,
about 40-45 minutes. Cool, slice and serve with garnishes of choice.

Take your standard pumpkin pie recipe and just substitute sweet
potatoes... it works just the same way (and to me it tastes the same
too... the difference is really semantic).


I agree that sweet potato can easily be substituted in a pumpkin pie recipe.
Howeer, I don't think they taste at all the same. I love both, but I can
definitely tell the difference.

Also, many sweet potato pie recipes call for a significant amount of butter,
1/4-1/2 cup, which is seldom seen in pumpkin pie.

Does coconut count as a nut? I have a great recipe for sweet
potato-coconut pie.

I'd love to have/ read it, Lia. Would you mind posting it?

Oh pshaw, on Thu 14 Dec 2006 06:54:34a, Julia Altshuler meant to say...

Mash together the following ingredients:


1.5 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes. (I use leftover baked sweet
potatoes that have had the peels removed. You could boil also.)

1.5 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon (Or less. It doesn't have to taste strongly of
cinnamon.)

1.5 tsp. fresh ginger (Or dried. But fresh is worth it.)

1.25 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 cup evaporated milk (Not condensed. Cream would substitute.)

1.5 cup flaked coconut (Not the sweetened kind. Go to the health
food store.)


Bake at 400 degrees in an unbaked 9" pie shell for about 35 minutes or
until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.


Garnish with whipped cream and more flaked coconut.

Lia, did I miss the eggs in here, or are there not any?

You are correct: 2 well beaten eggs.

Thanks, Lia. This sounds like a really good version. I've never made one
using coconut before.

Thank you, Julia. And thank you for the info on substituting the evaporated
milk - it is extremely dificult to find here (but flaked coconut is sold in
most supermarkets).

The recipe is different from anythig I've ever eaten. It's on my cooking
wish list now.
